I've posted too many pics on here and my album isnt even updated! lol. If you look on October on the '07 calender you'll see mine!

BUT!!! I have taken mine and did 3 passes down @ Famoso Race way on 6/23/06 in 115 degree weather! My best pass was a .464 R/T and a 16.323 1/4 mile time! My R/T sucked but it happened to be my best pass. I dont have any pics of BEING out there...just a video thats on tape... Its funny a newer AMG pulled 13.005 1/4 sucked! lol

When I return to the track I'll run a way better time. I have better gripping tires. And plus with the slight tuning ive done to my edelbrock, all the MSD upgrades too. It should run high 15's next time I run!

I go to a local track a lot, I'm not generally racing the Elky but I have had it on the track several times. I usually get out on Wednesday's when the track has it's Test-N-Tune nights. My last run was 10. something. I busted a THM 350 on that night. It snapped all the way around the bell housing and twisted under the Elky, Talk about a mess on the track. I felt really embarrassed it shut the track down for about an hour.

I like hot nights/evenings. The grip on the track gets better. I will say 115 is pretty high temps. I haven't had it out since I added my LockRite locker or the 3.73:1 gears. I look forward to getting out this year. We have a dragster we race AA/FA and it's really quick, freaky actually it's generally in the 4.5s or 5s. 23 bucket. "You can't live on the edge if you're scared of getting cut!" Now that has a nice small block in it. GM 6/71 Blower, enderly injection, Fab 9" rear, locker 4.56:1. We just had the Torque Converter recurved to a better stall speed. We did a few mods on the little monster over the off season. NASCAR has changed some rules and we'll have to change some parts of the roll cage.

Not that great a shot but I have been known to air Ol Paint out at the track now and then. This picture was taken at the worst hooking track in SC, best run there was an 8.56, at the new Orangeburg SC track I ran an 8.30

They always put them (Tracks) out in the back woods so the uppity bunch don't cop an attitude. Which actually, in the spring and summer times, it's not half bad at night there.

I really like being at the track, watching all the folks prep and mess with their cars and trucks, even the ricer bunch with their little **** cans are busy trying to make the engine produce enough torque to tighten the Lug nuts on a real car. They sound a little like a bee going down the track. Makes you want to carry a fly swatter around with you. I've seen some drag bikes and my goodness they can get down the track quick!!! They're just fast.

Personally, I like it better than sitting around watching a ball game. I've seen some really great looking customs and some that look like they are fixing to fall apart, but they get it!

i agree....i alawys enjoy going to the track, im always there every weekend pretty much because my fathers got a 10 second malibu that he bracket races, i love seein all of the work that goes into a lot of the cars there and thats probably where my el camino will be most of the time when i get my license

and im not a fan of ricers...if you go often youll know why...a lot of the times theres to many of them, most of them run 17s and theyre always leaving oil downs lol

I don't have any pictures from the track, but I plan on getting some this year when I go back to Steele and I'm thinking of running Super Chevy at Huntsville in May. My best times in my signature, I hope to get into the 14s this year with the mods I'm making.

That first pic is one of the greatest I have come across so far.
I'm not sure if you have seen them yet, but if you go to youtube.com and search for El Camino drag racing there is a few great Elky. videos

I cant wait till i move to Sacramento. I've heard Sacramento Race way is one of best 1/4 times you can dial in and one of the better hooking up ones SO ive heard. Being a Wyotech student im sure a lot of us will be out there racing. And belive me... I'll have pics if you know me! lol

Sacramento has some of the best racing and car shows in the u.s. however the area has become a horrible place to live. The crime rates have become unforgiving. Sac. town is becoming the next South Central L.A. personally I'm glad I don't live in the area anymore.
